Knee Arthroscopy Procedure

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the insertion of a small camera into the knee joint. Arthroscopes are commonly used as diagnostic tools and during correctional surgery. This procedure is often used when treating knee conditions including a torn meniscus, loose bodies, or cartilage damage. 

Knee arthroscopy is a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Patients who choose to undergo this procedure can enjoy many benefits, including a shorter recovery time, reduced risk of complications, and less post-operative pain. Patients with persistent knee conditions may begin to consider this procedure if they are unable to find relief through conservative therapies. 

When is This Procedure Necessary?

Patients may begin looking for knee treatment options if they experience pain, stiffness, or immobility in the knee joint. After recognizing this pain, patients should schedule an appointment with a specialist to organize diagnostic imaging tests. If the patient has a condition such as a knee fracture, the doctor will suggest a treatment plan. If the patient does not find relief through conservative therapies or treatments, they may consider surgery. Although a knee arthroscopy procedure is an excellent solution to many knee conditions, it is not suitable for all. Some knee conditions may require a more invasive procedure and some can be solved without the need for surgery.

Patients may consider a knee arthroscopy procedure if they have been diagnosed with one of the following conditions:

  • Knee fracture (patellar fracture)
  • Chronic knee pain
  • Dislocated kneecap
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Torn meniscus

What To Expect

Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will begin by making a small incision around the knee joint to allow for the insertion of an arthroscope. An arthroscope is a tiny, tube-shaped camera that allows the surgeon to closely monitor the area during the procedure. Next, the surgeon will make another small incision and use specialized tools to correct the condition. This often involves removing bone fragments, repairing torn ligaments, or removing damaged tissue. If the procedure is to repair a fractured knee, the surgeon will use screws, nails, or plates to reconnect the fractured bone. After the surgeon has achieved the goal of the procedure, they will remove the arthroscope and close the incision. 

Patients may experience discomfort in the days following the procedure. Patients can manage pain through prescribed pain medications, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, and rest. Oftentimes, it is recommended that patients undergo physical therapy to help strengthen the knee, improve mobility, and relearn certain movements. Most importantly, patients must carefully follow their recovery plan and instructions to ensure a safe and healthy recovery.
